    And because I’m not for fuck the planet I do the conservatative methods too depending on the environmental needs. Which is why I run my a.c. At 68°f for an hour and shut it off for 2. When I shave I fill my sink halfway with water and wipe with a damp towel or turn the water on and off as needed not let it flow the whole time. Same with dishes, I have a small tray for soaking cups and silverware. I use fans at night because when the heatwave/heat dome left my area of the US and the nights were regualr like they are now it gets down to 68°f at night so I don’t use my a.c. at night at all. Like I said I have an electric range. I run my heat the same timer interval of 1 hour on 2 hours off and use a space heater during the 2 hours off if I get cold.

    I’m not wasteful with resources but again, if I’m waking up drenched in sweat in the middle of a heatwave at 93°f at like 3am, I’m going to the middle of my house where the one window a. C. Is and I’m shooting that shit down to 68°f for an hour and blowing that cold air all over the place with a pedestal fan.
